When the two men walked to the football field in the compound, they saw several old men playing chess around a stone table under a big tree not far away. One of the old men who were watching looked up and saw Gu Chengfeng walking with a little girl, the two of them talking and laughing as they walked, and he shouted out loud.
"Hey, Xiaofeng, take your partner out for a walk."
The old man shouted, and the old men who were playing chess all raised their heads and looked at the two of them.
Su Nuan was stared at by several old men and shyly let go of the hand they were holding. Gu Chengfeng looked at the old men and waved to them to come over, but he had no choice but to take Su Nuan with him.
"Hello, Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Wu, this is my girlfriend Su Nuan"
"Nuannuan, this is Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Gao, and Grandpa Wu."
Su Nuan politely walked forward and greeted the old men one by one.
Several old men were very fond of Su Nuan, such a beautiful girl, and responded happily.
Mr. Fu: "Xiao Feng, your grandpa didn't come out to play chess today? What did he do?"
"My grandpa has something to do, so he's driving out with his orderly."
"Is that so? I was wondering why Lao Gu didn't come out for a stroll today."
Grandpa Wu: "Su Nuan, do you know how to play chess? Play a game with Grandpa."
"Grandpa Wu, it will rain, but it won't rain well."
"Hahaha, as long as you can play, Lao Gao, you just lost. Move over, let Su Nuan play next."
Mr. Gao stood up and gave up his seat without saying anything. After Su Nuan thanked Mr. Gao, she sat down and started playing chess.
Dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a shadow on the chessboard. The pieces danced in the light and shadow. Two players, one old, one young, sat opposite each other, lost in this silent battle. The young woman's bright eyes twinkled like stars. Her fingers moved swiftly across the pieces, seemingly leaving invisible trails in the air.
The old man calmly began to lay out his chessboard. A fierce contest unfolded between them, each move akin to a charge on the battlefield, tense and thrilling. He was completely absorbed, she was undeterred, and the pieces of both sides intertwined on the board, forming a magnificent painting.
The other old men who were watching the game nearby went from being indifferent at first to being fully focused later, enjoying the fierce battle on the chessboard.
Soon, an hour later, Mr. Wu narrowly won and Su Nuan lost.
Mr. Fu said, "Su Nuan, not bad. Old Wu is considered a master among us. You almost won."
"Grandpa Fu, you are too kind. It's my fault for not being well-trained."
Mr. Wu laughed and said, "Hahaha, little girl, don't be modest. This round was fun. Come on, let's play another round."
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Chengfeng quickly spoke out to stop them.
"Grandpa Wu, other elders, it's getting late. You should go back to eat. I should go back as well. My family is waiting for us. Let's go next time."
"Hey, okay, Su Nuan, remember to play chess next time."
"Okay, Grandpa Wu, we'll take our leave now, please continue."
After saying goodbye to several enthusiastic old men, the two went home hand in hand.
